What does it if a judge is going to put my case in the courts docket

It means it is being set for a hearing of some sort. That may be a plea, a motion hearing, a trial, or something else. The docket is the court's appointment calendar. It means that you and the lawyers need to be preparedfor some thing to happen that day.

This Internet site is public forum, where the communications are not confidential or privileged. If something I say disagrees with what your own lawyer is telling you, you should rely on your lawyer who is familiar with you, your entire case, the local courts and practices. There may very well be merit to your defense or position in this type of situation. However, there are hardly sufficient details for an attorney to provide you with some path to follow. It is imperative that ALL of the facts in a particular situation be examined. No conclusion can be drawn from the communication that you have provided. Those facts should not be put on a public Internet site. Most questions are just better handled by an attorney familiar with the procedures of the courts in your area. Few, if any, legal matters should be handled via Internet communication. At best, the responders on this site can give you a few hints and guidance. To deal with a legal problem, nothing is better than to consult with a lawyer who will give you some time and advice. If you cannot afford an attorney, there should be agencies in your area that can provide discounted, or even free, legal services. This Answer is provided for general educational purposes only.

A court's "docket" the way the word is used here is simply its calendar of pending cases that are scheduled for a court date. Sounds like the judge intends to schedule a court date for some purpose or another. If you have a lawyer, you need to discuss this with your lawyer. If you do not have a lawyer, now is the time to hire one if you can, and if not you need to ask for a court appointed lawyer.
